A little disappointed in my experience here. First off we didn't have a reservation so we had to wait, which wasn't a problem. The problem I had was with the host who kept giving us false promises. Told us to check in half an hour, fine. Table wasn't ready. Had to wait 10 minutes more, wasn't ready. Finally he said okay I have something. Felt like he didn't want us to dine there. The food itself wasn't all that good either. We ordered the spaghetti which tasted like it had no spices whatsoever, very bland. The popovers which everyone seems to rave about didn't do it for me, they tasted very eggy and like a pancake, which isn't what I expect from a dinner roll. The best thing we ordered was the steak and cheese spring rolls. However they forgot to make them for us so our appetizer didn't come out until after the main course did. The waitress apologized but still it was quite frustrating.For being an expensive and fancy restaurant I expected more out of the food quality.

Went there for a work event, so we only had a limited menu. That being said, filet mignon was perfectly cooked and seared. Tiramisu was great too. I cannot comment on service since this was a group event. Ambiance was decent.

A great restaurant, I ordered the 6 oz filet mignon with some gluten free pasta which was all quite delicious. The ambiance was quiet and relaxing as I went in the middle of the day on a weekday. While both the quality of the food and the service were enjoyable, the restaurants location is what seals the deal. It's such a convenient place to dine at if you're going to the movie theater, I received my food quickly and was able to make my movie.

they first serve with the scorn as bread, very light. the crab cake was a bit smaller than we expect when it came out. but it was good. the salmon was really light and good especially with everything else that came with the salmon. we honestly thought the Tomahawk was good for 2 people to share but smaller than we thought once again. the veal Tomahawk was very light and good. the baked Alaskan was a bit too sweet for us. the warm chocolate cake was very soft with the ice cream which we always enjoy the combination.

Whoever was working the bar on March 10th 2024 during the brunch shift was an absolute kaleidoscope of misery. If you are unhappy with children at the bar please talk to your manager about the policy or let us know that you are going to be uninviting and rude during our experience in your restaurant so that we can leave and go somewhere else. We were told our well behaved children could sit at the bar and they were so happy about it. The only reason that I'm leaving a 2 star review is that I have met the owner of the restaurant a few times over our many years in the city and he is genuinely a great guy and the food was often great. If you are wondering, we still left a 20% tip in hopes that the misery our children created within the bartender didn't carry over to his next guest, which hopefully weren't the youth. We won't return. Be better; your restaurant for better or worse is attached to a movie theater and thus will bring children. (Also if you are wondering our kids have grown up frequenting some of the best restaurants in Boston and have often been complimented for being so well mannered.)"

By my rating system, a $70 steak has to be better than a $25 steak, it was not. This is a great place to waste your money.I ordered the 14 oz. 55 Day Prime Aged Strip Steak.On the menu, they list their definitions of doneness for steaks as follows:Rare: Cold red centerMedium Rare: Warm red centerMedium: Pink centerI did not read further.My perfect steak would match their definition of medium rare, but absolutely not any less done. I know from experience with places that publish this doneness scale that they almost always cook it a little more done than they say and I don't mind some pink inside as long as the center is red. I always have the option of having them cook it a bit more if they error in the less done direction.My medium rare steak came out what I would call medium well. It had a small amount of pink at the very center, the rest was totally cooked through. You would think that at a place that charges $70 for a strip steak, would have a chef that could get close to what was ordered. I had to send it back. So I was left with nothing to eat while the rest of the people ate their dinners. I might have had some of the Brussels Sprouts I ordered as a side dish (at extra cost), but they had taken away my utensils when I sent the steak back, so I had no way to eat them. By the time my second steak came out, my Brussels Sprouts were cold.When my new steak finally came back, it was slightly under done, but I was hungry enough to just eat it. The steak was just okay, not what I was expecting from a 55 day aged $70 steak. If there was any seasoning on it, it was undetectable by me. As an aside, the next day, my wife picked up some steaks at Walmart. The cost for my portion was $14.00. I seasoned it and grilled it on a gas BBQ. The Walmart steak was vastly better than Davio's.Other items:I started with Crispy Calamari. It was 5* on taste, but zero on being "Crispy", which averages out to 3*. The Caesar Salad was unremarkable.For dessert, I had the Tiramisu Bombe. This is Tiramisu covered in a dome of chocolate. The taste was 5*, but the quantity of actual Tiramisu inside was lacking by my standards.

Came here for a work-related dinner (meal served along with an educational talk) with a large group - so didn't really choose from any drinks or entrees but had a chance to try a salad and one of the pasta dishes (penne bolognese).Arugula salad with shaved parmesan cheese - was quite good - liked the flavor on this a lot. Went well with black pepper seasoning which one of the servers added to taste (I asked for a lot and my wish was granted).Penne Bolognese with veal, beef, pork. Got this loaded up with extra parmesan cheese as well because why not. Overall a nice pasta dish and the penne was cooked perfectly. Would have been nice to have a little more fillings/meat but overall the flavor was balanced and I was satisfied.

Went to Davios for first time in chestnut hill. the atmosphere was very nice and they are quite attentive. As soon as we sat down, they were at our table asking about water or drinks could have used a min to settle in but all good. The waiter was great. For drinks my friend said i want something funky. the waiter and the rest us looked what? they had just added the drink to the menu and what waiter was not familiar. it was pretty funny. I got a mai tai and it was fantastic. we ended up ordering the seafood tower a salad oysters Rockefellers and a chopped tuna dish. the seafood was fresh and tasty the shrimp were great. it is a nice place comfortable not cheap with great service.
